***Giveaway ends at 9:00 PM CST tonight! Winner will be announced shortly thereafter***

Since I have won a couple of really nice giveaways recently, I have decided to host my own. Since this is my first one and I really don't know what I'm doing, I'm sure I will make a mistake somewhere along the way. But that's okay. Let's just have fun with it.

So, on to the fun part...

I am giving away a $15 Gift Card to the store of your choosing (as long as I can order it online or purchase it locally. i.e. Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Starbucks).

This giveaway is open to anyone. Anywhere. As long as you have a mailbox. =)There are a few ways to enter.

1. Leave me a comment with either a link to your blog or your email address. (You do not have to have a blog to enter.) Just for fun, tell me where you would want your giftcard from and what you would buy.

2. Post a link to this giveaway on your blog for another entry.

3. Tell me something that we have in common that you learned from reading my blog.

Please, if you are going to do more than one of these-Leave me a separate comment for each one.I will announce the winner on Monday, March 9th.

Well I am excited to try to win your first giveaway!! I would go to Starbucks and by My husband and I a coffee, and my children all a kids hot chocolate. They always feel big when they get something that looks like a coffee. MMMMM I can taste Starbucks just typing about it.

Okay, the second entry. I found out that we are both married to military men. Although it does require sacrifice on our parts, it can also offer wonderful opportunities! Oh, yeah, and we also both read the Nester. : )

ok if I won gift card i would spend it at walgreens along with my $5 off huggies coupons which would be great b/c as you know being in the military you dont make a lot of money so every little bit helps .Christinecuteebonyladie@aol.com

I would get it to somewhere like Chilis or Rainforest Cafe since I want to take my husband out over his spring break... he is in dental school and has been putting in some long hours lately. He definately deserves a treat!

If I were to win this very kind giveaway, I would choose Target. Because that is my favorite store. And I would buy a tie there for my husbands birthday (he has been admiring this tie for a while).Thanks for the chance to win.spackattak7(at)hotmail(dot)com

Haha - just read your update post about the ER visits, phone, etc. I'm a military wife myself.... why does all the "exciting" stuff happen when the husband goes TDY? I'm glad it isn't just me this happens to!

This is so much fun!:) I think I need to have a giveaway on my blog:) Well anyway, I think I'd go with a Target card since I found two cute little outfits there that I'm hoping to buy for my little niece and nephew for Easter...maybe they'll go on sale:)

As for what we have in common...My dad was in the Airforce(Does that count?) and I also like books written by Michael & Debi Pearl (To Train Up A Child etc...) I'm sure there are at least a dozen other things that I could mention, but I better stop before this gets too long:D

I am also a wife and mommy, striving to raise a strong Christian family. I have 4 children. We lost a baby girl at birth, she was our second child. We became grandparents this year, a baby girl. It was emotional, exhilirating, and miraculous.

What have I learned from your blog? Well, I just followed the link from Money Saving Mom, but I looked back at your posts. I thought the article about food dyes was really interesting....esp this part: Citrus Red # 2: Injected into the skin of oranges to make them look “more” orange. Has caused cancer in animals

Hi Liz. Congratulatioins and thank you for your first giveaway!!I would go with a Walmart card (any other store is an hour away!) and I would buy some gifts for my secret sister at church!mesreads[at]gmail[dot]com

Liz- My second entry.... We are a Christian family too. Also, your family is connected with the Airforce and mine is too now! Our son has been accepted and goes to basic training in April. He has a great job lined up and we are very proud of him!

Hm... Can you get grocery store gift cards online? If so, then one of those. It gets difficult being a college student. I hate living off of easy mac and ramen, especially since I love to cook! If not, then probably Target. I need new eyeliner. Haha.

Well friend, I can't say you have ever had this many post. I would like it to the Disney store...it is the phase Elisabeth is in right now..go figure. You are too funny an the thing I love about you is your heart!! I wish we could get together soon. I need to talk to you--so maybe I will call next week. We are involved in a furnal for one of our church member's dad. It has been a sad week for evryone. Anyway..bye--hope this giveaway was all you wanted it to be.

Hmmm... not that I ever win anything, but if I did win this one, I'd love a gc to Ann Taylor Loft... I'm in need of some new tops, and I'm tired of t-shirts and the other unflattering shirts I have! :o)

Hmmm... and something we have in common? Aside from being IFB, we both know Rena W personally, and are married to military men. That should count for more than one entry, right, since it was more than one thing in common? ;o) LOL!

Thanks for the giveaway...I would like an amazon gift card or a book store type gift card. Like you my son is demonstrating some behavior issues that I feel are a direct result of dye and other food additives. I would like to use your gift card to by the book Natural Treatments for Tics and Tourette's. We have been seeing several doctor's for my son's condition and your gift card would help me buy this book which offers a natural treatment for my son.

#3-my husband recently finished his "term" with the Army...through most of our courtship(which started in high school) and several years of our marriage he served with the Army Reserve. never really impacted us too much until he was deployed to Iraq literally 2 weeks after we were married. i thank God every day that he came home safely and we were able to start our family which now includes a dd, 3yrs and a ds, 5 mos:) long story short, i got a little taste of how crazy military life can be, and so we have at least that in common:) thanks!christinbanda@yahoo.com
